Chapter 658

"What village chief? Our Konoha ninja village only has a Hokage, not anything like a village chief. If you're looking for the Hokage, you'll have to get in line — before you, who knows how many people have been waiting to see the Hokage."

Hearing the requests of Ishugar's people and the Shinigami, the ninja guarding Konoha ninja village sneered, shook their heads indifferently, and did not directly agree to Ishugar's people and the Shinigami's request.

To them, Ishugar's people and the Shinigami were perhaps just some down-and-out villagers; every so often these so-called down-and-outs would show up at Konoha's gate wanting to enter Konoha to post missions.

In fact, this was one of Konoha's sources of income, but now things were different from usual — the Fourth Shinobi World War was about to begin, and for Konoha ninja village, this was simply not a time of peace when missions could be carried out.

So as far as Ishugar's people and the Shinigami were concerned, they paid them no special attention at all, simply letting them wait quietly.

Watching the ninja's attitude, Ishugar's people and the Shinigami also understood that there was no way these proud ninja would directly let them meet the Hokage of Konoha village right in front of them, so they would need to use some other methods.

"In that case, there's no choice then. I'll just have to make you all quiet for a little while, otherwise it would be dangerous for this world."

Watching the ninja's attitude, Hitsugaya Toushirou shook his head, a trace of resolve in his eyes.

"Sit upon the frosty heavens, Hyourinmaru!"

"Shikai — Hyourinmaru!"

Countless waves of cold air spread right to the ninja's sides. Watching Hitsugaya Toushirou suddenly change like a different person, the ninja seemed to realize something and were just about to make a move.

But in an instant the cold air froze them all solid. For the ninja, Hitsugaya Toushirou's freezing was still utterly terrifying.

After all, for Hitsugaya Toushirou, this was cold air capable of freezing Natsu — freezing a few mere ninja was, for Hitsugaya Toushirou, the easiest thing in the world.

Watching the frozen ninja, a smile flashed across Hitsugaya Toushirou's face.

"Alright, let's go. There shouldn't be anyone left to stop us now."

Watching Hitsugaya Toushirou, the corners of Ishugar's people's mouths also twitched — this kind of violent method was perhaps something only Hitsugaya Toushirou would do.

Although they knew Hitsugaya Toushirou was not a reckless person, this was not a moment they could afford to waste either — every extra second was one second less of their chance to defeat Aizen.

"'These people shouldn't have any problems, right? I still know your ice — don't kill them, that would be a huge problem.'"

Watching the ninja frozen by Hitsugaya Toushirou, a hint of lingering fear appeared on Natsu's face. For Natsu, Hitsugaya Toushirou's freezing was still utterly terrifying.

"Don't worry, the degree of freezing I use is different for every person. For them I only used a very small portion of my power — for them it'll only take three hours to break free."

Watching the frozen ninja, Hitsugaya Toushirou's eyes held no expression at all. For him, as long as he didn't kill the ninja, that was enough.

"I see, I thought you'd use something that powerful like when you froze me!"

Listening to Hitsugaya Toushirou's words, Natsu laughed heartily and scratched his head. In his eyes, Hitsugaya Toushirou seemed to be nothing but an idiot who only relied on elemental counters, and for him that was the greatest enemy. Huh.
